The 2nd Nowon Craft Beer Festival Held at Hwarangdae Railroad Park in Nowon-gu

Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced on the 25th that it held the "2nd Nowon Craft Beer Festival" at Hwarangdae Railroad Park.

Following the great response to last year's first craft beer festival, this year's event was significantly expanded in scale and content, taking place richly across three zones.

In the 1st Plaza, centered around Nowon Train Village and the Hwarangdae Railroad Park parking lot, about 12 brewery booths and 11 food trucks were arranged. On the main stage set up in the parking lot, performances by Crying Nut, No Brain, Ji Se-hee, Daybreak, and others continued over two days.

In the central area of Hwarangdae Railroad Park, the 2nd Plaza was established in the Bulbit Garden area, operating a beer bar featuring the craft beer brewery "Vaneheim" and the "Nowon Craft Beer Cooperative" representing Nowon, as well as a snack bar run by merchants from Sanggye Central Market and Gongneung Goblin Market.

The newly expanded 3rd Plaza this year was created at the waterside park in front of Hwarang Hall. Opened for the first time to the festival with the cooperation of the Korea Military Academy, this area features a large grassy field with big shade tents and resting areas, allowing visitors to enjoy a picnic-like atmosphere.

Additionally, on the nearby abandoned railroad tracks at the festival site, a brand fair was held with participation from about 40 specialized local businesses offering various desserts, crafts, and other products, capturing the attention of visitors.

Meanwhile, the district minimized greenhouse gas emissions by implementing a carbon emission checklist and conducting on-site evaluations during the event, producing 40,000 cups and 10,000 bowls as reusable containers and placing collection points at each location to promote carbon neutrality.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “We welcome everyone visiting the Nowon Craft Beer Festival, which is growing into a nationwide festival beyond Nowon-gu. With flavorful beers presented by the best craft beer breweries, along with various food and cultural performances prepared, we hope families and friends come out and enjoy a unique weekend together.”
